Church Corrections

By Christopher and Toni Ries, Robert and Shawn Koellermeier - 02/27/08
In response to the article written by Rob Chaney dated Feb. 19, titled “Frenchtown church still holds Mass in Latin:” We respectfully submit that the Society of Saint Pius X (order of Roman Catholic priests) was founded by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre (1905-91) in Econe, Switzerland, in 1970 with canonical approval.The Archbishop was the former Superior General of the Holy Ghost Fathers. Pope John XXIII made him an Assistant to the Papal Throne.The Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) bishops, priests and faithful profess filial devotion and loyalty to Pope Benedict XVI (Vicar of Christ and Sovereign Pontiff) and all of the successors of Peter. They accept the entire deposit of Catholic doctrine on faith and morals. The priests of the SSPX pray for the intentions of the Holy Father and the welfare of the Local Ordinary at every Mass they celebrate.The Montana chapels of the SSPX are located in Victor and Kalispell, not in Missoula as the article stated. For more information or clarification on the SSPX you can go to www.sspx.org Thank you.Christopher and Toni Ries110 Norris Road

The Catholic Church likes to appear united, but how many orders are there, many Catholics reject the Church stance since the 60 or 70s when the church tried to mondernize. Maybe the Catholics are as divided as the Protestants?
